Hi there, I'm Sebastian, a passionate content creator based in Vancouver Canada. I curated this Morocco trip because I believe travel is the best way to connect with new places and people. It's all about exploring, enjoying local culture, and creating unforgettable experiences together. If you're ready for an adventure with like-minded travelers, I'd love for you to join me!
With cities rising from the desert and out of sandstone cliffs, Morocco is a magical destination that will capture your imagination. Join me as we travel through its charming landscapes on this week-long sojourn in North Africa. We'll experience Morocco's timeless charm by exploring its maze-like medina on a city and street food tour. From Morocco, we'll travel to the Dades Valley for a hike, visiting nature's works of art with its dramatic landscapes and unique rock formations. Then, we'll spend a night in the Sahara enjoying dinner with music around a bonfire before riding the dunes in an ATV the next day. We'll visit the historic Aït Benhaddou, a village made up of traditional earthen clay structures. Our adventure ends back in Morocco, where we'll celebrate the memories made during a farewell dinner. Come experience the sparks of Morocco's magic with me!
